New Delhi: In a major move, KRBL, the leading company that produces basmati rice under the India Gate brand, has made its foray into the edible oils segment. As per the company's plan, KRBL aims to generate a revenue of Rs 200–300 crore within the next three years through its new offering of blended oil products and wants to target health-conscious consumers.
As per the company's official, KRBL had launched two variants of edible oil under its 'India Gate Uplife' range in February — one called 'Gut Pro' and the other 'Lite'. These products are priced at Rs 192–199 per litre. Company Enters Edible Oil Business
Talking about KRBL's big move, company's Business Head (Domestic), Ayush Gupta, said that until now, only one brand — Saffola — has dominated the blended edible oil category, with a market size of 1.1 lakh tonnes. 'We are going to expand this,' he said.
Gupta further added that the company is targeting sales of 2,000 tonnes and revenue of around ₹50 crore in the current financial year. Ayush also said that over the next three years, their goal is to achieve sales of 8,000–10,000 tonnes and revenue of ₹200–300 crore.
